Santorine: 'Please Explain to Me How That's Fair'

I’ve discovered those in favor of leaving our borders open and welcoming illegal invaders with open arms don’t understand the economic ramifications, which are expensive and will have long-lasting negative effects on our children and seniors. Let’s look at some very real scenarios: An illegal is working, falls, and breaks his wrist. He’s taken the hospital ER and racks up a $15,000 bill for diagnosis, plate, screws and surgery. He has no insurance and provided a fake name and address. It might look like the hospital will have to absorb the charges. They won’t. They will add them to your bill, or your grandparents' bill, which will cause your insurance to be more expensive, or Medicare to trim and ration services. Next … An Illegal family shows up with two school-age children who speak no English, and only knows a dialect spoken in the jungles of Venezuela. Of course, they know enough to call in an advocate who’s going to demand, knowing our laws better than we do, the school provide a translator and specific instruction. … The cost for this is not absorbed by the school. It is taken from an existing budget, likely a program for top performers (because they can fend for themselves), or, say the music department, who will now have to cut instruction and one concert for a number of  years. Those two illegals had a huge negative impact on 25 students, and hobbled the education of our best and brightest, because bleeding hearts want to help the needy while stunting our future. Please explain to me how that’s fair. Two illegals convince a landlord to rent them an apartment and promise there will be only four of them in the small two-bedroom unit. One week later, 15 of their closest relatives move in, using heat and hot water like no tomorrow. Landlord evicts them. On their way out, they trash the apartment, partly because they have absolutely nothing to lose, and partly because they come from a society where they believe they are entitled to punish the rich. … Who pays for that? The next tenant in that apartment, and every other tenant that landlord has – tand it many cases, those other tenants are the people least able to afford it. The numbers and the effect are much more pronounced when you consider this at scale. Let’s say there was a dormitory that would have housed 250 students. The university it was attached to fails, and someone decides that five busloads of illegals should be sent to Wheeling to be housed, and to receive taxpayer assistance. When they are not committing “the crimes of idleness,” or perpetrating the same crimes they were plying in Venezuela, they may decide to seek work. They don’t have a driver’s license or workforce skills, but they know if they offer to work for less, they can find something to generate income. More often than not, they don’t care if they are displacing other workers. You can count on the fact they will be cutting our local workers who many agencies worked hard to get gainful employment and situated with housing. When they get that work, they will send a huge portion of what they make back to where they came from, a net economic drain on the economy. The issue, you see, is self-compounding. If I’m an ethical employer, and try not to hire illegals, I will be forced into it when my direct competitors do, and I’m faced with being non-competitive.  So, like the unethical operators, I’ll dismiss my local help, and bring in the cut-rate illegal invaders. All this happens while they are driving unregistered or uninsured vehicles, having accidents with members of our community, initiating brawling, and just in general a drain on our local community. Their very presence will destroy our tourism business, and handicap everyone who depends on a safe, positive place to do business. Fast forward 20 years, and some politician will decide that since they were not in our Social Security system, but are of retirement age, that Social Security should pay them, and to do so, it means that people who paid into the system should take a little less. Is that what you want? I didn’t think so. Such is the problem of “sanctuary.” Just look at New York, NY, or Chicago. It can happen here if we let it. Read the full article

A Vulture Called Sampaati

From the Sundarakanda Of Ramayana It was my birthday when I first laid eyes on Sampaati, perched on the ledge overlooking the river Mandovi. As I hurried past, lost in my own thoughts, Sampaati seemed to challenge me with its gaze, daring me to connect. Amidst the bustling crowd visiting the mangroves, this solitary figure commanded my attention. For nearly a month, Sampaati remained a constant…

hello fellow cubfan135 fan, how do you do?

whats your favourite cub headcanon?,,,,

FAVOURITE CUB HEADCANON OUGH that's hard because i have so many....

number one probably has to be that cub suffers from really awful nightmares, the only thing he's found that helps is working so hard on big projects that he exhausts himself throughly enough to sleep through the night. this season it's the fireworks factory, last season was total chaos and the museum. he finds comfort in surrounding himself with people - it's the reason his projects are often so community centred, being able to provide joy or escape for others grounds him. the fireworks shop, the horn shop, his tcg arena - they all give him the opportunity to create a haven of fun away from difficult projects, giving the other hermits a place to go to distract them from their own mega builds or complex plans. sometimes he worries that he's a monster, that he scares the others with his vex traits, but he works through it by creating sancturies on the server where the others come to escape their own worries. he is comforted every time he gets a hermit to laugh, or is able to successfully bring a group together for something.

(the nightmares are also the reason he lived underneath ren's then scar's starter bases last season, he needed to be near to others for comfort)

it's so exhausting arguing with people who are so hardcore anti-captivity for punks that they're like "release all the punks back into the wild!!!". like NO, if we did that the ecosystem would get completely unbalanced and native species like emos and goths would become endangered!!! reputable punk sancturies are the gold standard but individual punk rescuers can provide just as good environments for punks to live and thrive in!!

#punk husbandry #like YES ideally we wouldnt have captive punks!! #we'd just sprinkle safety pins in the garden for wild punks!! #but we DO have a huge captive population and so we MUST provide the best care we can

[lunarfey]

fianna dreams of starting a sanctury to help save captive born wolves and wolfdogs that are unable to be cared for appropriately by their original owners, with a goal to provide life-long quality care in large, natural habitat enclosures. they would be dedicated to educating the public about keeping wolves and other wild animals as pets, and promoting a better understanding of the value of wild wolves in the environment.

Happy WBW! What's a fun fact about your world that you haven't been able to share yet?

Happy WBW!

I think I've shared what I can share that I consider fun facts, haha. I think I can share that since there are multiple worlds with their own lore, the likes of vampires and such exist but have been hunted and killed/captured because the existence of magic beings are forbidden.

Worlds with magic do tend to be safe from Siruna though, since the devourer of worlds target those worlds first for unknown reasons. This is being used as the reason as to why magic and the like is forbidden and users will be executed for everyone's safety.

U.N.I.T does not share their hatred for magic, however, and have sancturies for refuges hunted for their existence.

Thank you for the ask!
